literally them im afraid (this can be taken in any context)

i led an all-ages hike today for our local Pride organization (which was great!) & there was a 6-year-old on the hike who was super engaged in all my little Naturalist spiels until the very end nearly two hours into the hike as we approached the end of the trail & he became tired and a little over it. I fell to the back to make sure we had everyone & he was at the end of the line with his mom and he stopped suddenly in the middle of the trail and put out his little arm so I bumped into it and I stopped and he said “you can’t come with us.” I said, “you’re leaving me here?!” He said, “you’re for the forest.” I said, “what have I done to you today to deserve this abandonment,” and he said, “it’s not like that.” I said, “oh, like I shouldn’t take it personally?” And he said, verbatim, “yeah, like…don’t make it a thing.”

I’m only able to tell you all this because his mom, in her infinite mercy, told him to keep walking and let me go. I’d still be in that forest.

Some out of context, unused takes from our recording session with Anairis Quiñones, who is voicing Aika in the pilot!

Can't wait for y'all to hear more than just this one line. And also what this one line is for in context haha.

My fucking cat has figured out how to gently dig his claws into my eyelid and pull my eyes open while I'm sleeping. He does this. It does not hurt. He is remarkably precise and gentle. I however am asleep when it happens and do not appreciate being clockwork oranged by a needy clingy goddamn animal who thinks he needs attention.

I would like to clarify that this animal self feeds and is not being denied breakfast by my sleeping in. He doesn't do this to anyone else. Everyone else simply gets increasingly invasive headbutts and even thats a fairly rare occurence. This fucking cat needs to cuddle with me specifically, And he is decided that the best way to do it is to gently shove his claws underneath my eyelashes and pull. There is no way I can train him out of this because believe it or not shoving your fingers in somebody's eyes to wake them up has the desired reaction.

We have come to a compromise. One that neatly illustrates the reason I'm not wearing an eyemask.

If I have a hair tie on my wrist, my darling sweet baby boy, love of my life and apple of my eye, can gingerly dig his teeth underneath and grab it in his mouth and then back up. and pull. And Snap the hell out of me with the elastic. Again, he is very gentle and precise, there are never teeth touching my skin. This is not a fluke, he managed this several times in various circumstances and positions.

This is worse than a toddler. We are approaching diabolical machinations hitherto undreamt of by domestic felines.

Behold, Prince Shithead himself.

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back

additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you

useful terminology for different kinds of clothing shapes :)

Everything in moderation is what I say, even the things we love and enjoy!

If you're draining my social battery in this way it means that you are comparable to my favorite deserts!

I love you endlessly and you are always on my mind (I enjoy deserts so very much) but moderation keeps them lovely!

starting to suspect that tech bros actually just don’t know what reading is

I know I just reblogged this but I think the really important takeaway here is that this techbro is not genuinely asking “how can we improve fanfiction?” What he’s asking is “how can we tap into this massive market?”

I keep thinking about how many of these chat bots are free—for now. And of course they are! It’s a classic marketing technique when you’re trying to get your foot in the door with a novel product: let folks use it, let them get used to it, then start charging for it. You don’t have to look any further than streaming to see a very recent example of how this happens.

And it’s going to happen with AI.

There’s nothing these assholes love more than making money off of other people’s hard work. But you can’t legally charge for fanfic! So how do you get around that? You charge for a chat bot (which you trained on other people’s fanfic). You can’t charge for the content, but you can charge for the thing that produces the content.

AI is theft, and there are a whooooole lot of people gleefully looking to make a buck off of our hard work.

Don’t use AI, don’t feed AI your favorite fic writers’ and artists’ work, don’t read AI fic, don’t engage with it. And if you do, well, I can’t force you to give a shit about other people, but AI is a paywall being built, brick by brick, between you and the things you love. Stop slathering on the mortar.

guess who just got ✨dommed by the narrative✨✨✨

DOOMED I MEANT DOOMED

Also! I'm taking commissions, dm if interested

At momocon this year someone sitting behind me at a panel had a neon j/dj subatomic supernova ita bag and hand sewn neon j plush and no joke i think about it every single day. I aspire towards that. If this is yours PLEASE speak up. I think about it all the damn time
